Bug ID: 2446
Summary: Positive lookbehind assertions with nested assertions
behave differently in PCRE and PCRE2
Product: PCRE
Version: 10.32 (PCRE2)
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Code
Assignee: ph10@???
Reporter: pako@???
CC: pcre-dev@???
In PHP 7.2, which uses PCRE 8.41, the following call:
preg_split("/(?<='(?!t(?<=n't)))/ui", "n't", null, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)
returns the following array:
[
0 => n't
]
However in PHP 7.3, which uses PCRE 10.32, the result for the same call is
different:
[
0 => n',
1 => t
]
It seems that the positive lookbehind assertion is treated differently. It
looks like a bug in PCRE2, as other regular expression implementations (for
example, in Java) behave in the same way as PCRE1 for this expression.
